"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco Mayor London Breed and Supervisor Hillary Ronen on Tuesday outlined the beginnings of a plan to reform the Office of Sexual Harassment and Assault Response and Prevention, or SHARP, which has \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11985525/failures-of-sf-office-on-sexual-assault-complaints-draw-scrutiny\">come under recent scrutiny\u003c/a> over its shortcomings since it was established six years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials have said SHARP has failed in its mandate to help survivors of sexual harassment and assault navigate San Francisco’s bureaucratic systems, to report city officers should they fail to help, and to suggest policy reforms for government agencies to better help victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SHARP will be folded into a new office, the San Francisco Office of Victim and Witness Rights, which aims to help victims of all types of crime. Ronen’s office plans to introduce legislation in the coming weeks that will merge the entities and “clarify [the office’s] duties and powers to ensure it is best able to meet the needs of survivors,” she told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new office’s inaugural director will be Ivy Lee, an attorney and former policy adviser to Breed, the mayor announced during a press conference on Tuesday at the West Portal Recreation Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This office will have one purpose, which is to try to make government work better for survivors,” Lee said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most recently, Lee was Breed’s policy adviser on public safety and victims’ rights. She also served on the City College of San Francisco Board of Trustees and as a legislative aide of former Supervisors Jane Kim and Norman Yee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ronen created SHARP in 2018 to respond to sexual assault victims who said the San Francisco Police Department did not adequately investigate their claims. The office’s deficiencies came to light in \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/sf-sharp-sex-assault-response-19429042.php\">a scathing investigation by the \u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, which found SHARP did not propose any policy changes to the three largest city agencies that sexual assault survivors often encounter: the San Francisco Police Department, the district attorney’s office or San Francisco General Hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"sexual-assault\"]“Setting up SHARP was never easy. But Ivy is that person because she has the diplomacy, she has the credibility, she has the relationships,” Ronen said at Tuesday’s press conference. “That’s why I know SHARP is going to succeed like it never has before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee told KQED that SHARP would need a larger staff to do enough outreach to victims; right now, it has only two employees, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sharp-sf.org/our-team\">according to its website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we are going to have that public-facing aspect, you need to be staffed up appropriately,” Lee said. “If we want to help victims, then ask them what they need, ask them what they want, resource it, and deliver it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The creation of the Office of Victim and Witness Rights was mandated by the June 2022 voter passage of Proposition D, which was authored by Supervisor Catherine Stefani, who is running for state Assembly.

Ronen said that her office will meet with vendors and other city agencies to evaluate the impacts of the temporary ban and determine the next steps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor’s office will also host a resource fair to help vendors with other entrepreneurship opportunities and provide additional immigration, health and housing support, Breed said in the press statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to support people who are trying to make a living and following our permits and guidelines, and these new spaces and support will do just that,” Breed said. “This is about helping the entire Mission community and making sure that merchants, residents, and City workers feel safe and that the neighborhood can thrive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California lawmakers \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB946&search_keywords=vendor\">decriminalized street vending in 2018\u003c/a>.

In total, San Francisco stands to receive $352 million over the next 15 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April, the city settled lawsuits over \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11946346/walmart-cvs-set-to-pay-san-francisco-19-million-in-opioid-settlements\">Walmart’s and CVS Pharmacy’s alleged negligent oversight\u003c/a> of opioid prescription practices; San Francisco is slated to receive up to $18.8 million from those settlements. In 2022, the city attorney’s office secured a $10 million settlement from Endo, a pharmaceutical company, and $54 million from drug manufacturers Allergan and Teva. And, the city approved a $45 million settlement with Johnson & Johnson, which manufactures opioids, and distributors including Cardinal, AmerisourceBergen and McKesson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The evidence at trial established that from 2006 to 2020, Walgreens pharmacies in San Francisco dispensed hundreds of thousands of red-flag opioid prescriptions without performing adequate due diligence,” said presiding judge Charles Breyer of the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California. “Tens of thousands of these prescriptions were written by doctors with suspect prescribing patterns.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The funds are said to be earmarked for overdose prevention, such as distributing Narcan, a nasal spray or injectable that can reverse an opioid overdose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates for overdose prevention have also called for the millions of dollars in opioid litigation settlements to be used for \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11943309/sf-supervisors-carve-path-for-privately-run-safe-consumption-sites-but-can-nonprofits-fund-them-alone\">safe consumption sites\u003c/a>, facilities where people can consume illicit substances under medical supervision. The idea is to have trained staff available to reverse an overdose if one takes place, and work with drug users to connect them to other health and social services. It also gives drug users a safer place to be rather than the street.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
